Recreating the American LongRifle

[TNTraveler]

Going to buy this book, as usual I look for used copies, no need in paying full price, was wondering if the newer revised additions where worth paying a little more for, or are the ones printed in 83 just as good, thanks Gary

I'm not sure what any of the revisions were, I have the fifth printing, but it sure is an excellent book. If it wasn't much difference in money I'd probably get the newer one, but can't imagine much has changed. After all they've been making these things for how many hundred years now!!

If I remember correctly, the real early editions had a chapter on restoring old rifles which was taken out.

Thats what I was wondering, sometimes they omit stuff when they start revising, thanks for the info

The newer editions are definitely superior
